Chapter 173: Alliance

At the table, a look of playfulness flashed in the eyes of several people.

Cao Rong proposed it, so he must want to be the boss. Yun Feng asked so confrontationally, clearly not convinced by Cao Rong being the boss.

"Naturally, whoever is the strongest will be the leader. Are you willing to let someone weaker than you lead you?"

Cao Rong's gaze swept across the people at the table, "On this point, I think everyone has no opinion, right? Whoever among you can defeat me, the leader will be his.

In the future, after entering the Ziyang Sect, it will be the same. Whoever is the strongest will be the leader of the force."

The surroundings had quieted down.

Although only Cao Rong and the others were talking at this table, everyone present was an expert of Qi Gathering Major Success, and they could hear the wind and grass moving within three zhang clearly, so they naturally heard their conversation.

"It is very good for the strongest to be the leader. How could anyone object?"

"It doesn't matter who is the leader, as long as they are stronger than me."

"I am convinced by Senior Brother Cao Rong being the leader."

Many people echoed immediately, but some people had very ugly faces and were unwilling to join such a force.

But if Cao Rong and the others joined forces to establish a force, even if they were unwilling, they could only grit their teeth and accept it, otherwise there would be no good fruit to eat.

Fortunately, Yun Feng seemed to be at odds with Cao Rong. If he objected or clashed with Cao Rong, the matter might not be able to proceed.

Yun Feng snorted coldly, "You only won by one move that day. Now that nearly two months have passed, do you think you can still win against me?"

Cao Rong smiled, "Simple, we didn't have enough fun fighting that day. Let's fight again. Whoever wins will be the leader, how about it?"

"Just what I want!" Yun Feng stood up.

"We are about to set off for the Ziyang Sect. If Brother Yun and Brother Cao fight, it won't be good if anyone gets hurt. I think the two of you are evenly matched, so why don't you both be leaders?" Gu Haoming said.

As soon as these words were spoken, another group of people agreed, thinking it would be better for the two Marrow Cleansing experts, Yun Feng and Cao Rong, to serve as leaders together.

Both of them were Marrow Cleansing experts and young masters of the four major families in Qingyuan. They would definitely be able to lead everyone to success in the Ziyang Sect.

"So they are singing a duet here," Xu Yang realized.

Cao Rong and Yun Feng joined forces, and the momentum was created. Who else would dare to object to the establishment of the force?

"Brother Yun's strength is indeed evenly matched with mine. I agree with this proposal," Cao Rong said.

Yun Feng's expression also looked better, "As long as I am not under you, I agree too."

"Then the matter is settled," Cao Rong smiled.

In the blink of an eye, even the leader was decided. Many people didn't even have time to express their opinions.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Gu Haoming's mouth.

Qin Ze had a dark face!

Kong Yu's expression was also somewhat unnatural.

Han Xing's expression remained unchanged, smiling, "Wait a minute, you two. First, say whether it is voluntary or mandatory. With so many people, we have to discuss a charter before telling everyone."

Cao Rong said, "Of course it is voluntary, but I think there should be no one who is unwilling. We are considering it for everyone. Otherwise, with the strength of me and Brother Yun, who in the Ziyang Sect would dare to bully us?"

There was another chorus of agreement, calling Cao Rong righteous and thinking for everyone.

Of course, there were also people who kept silent. Everyone knew whether the young master of the Cao family was a righteous person.

Not many people were fools who thought Cao Rong really wanted to protect everyone.

It was just that except for figures like Han Xing, not many people dared to come out and sing the opposite of Cao Rong.

Han Xing said again, "Then what is the purpose of the force? Is it just to unite against foreign enemies and avoid being bullied, or is it like the gangs in the city, going to fight and kill, and compete for resources?"

Cao Rong said, "If we martial artists want to be strong, we naturally have to compete with others for resources. Competing for resources will naturally lead to fighting. If you don't even dare to fight, I think it's better to stay in Qingyuan obediently."

With this sentence, many people were moved. Martial artists are brave, and they are all people who like to fight. Many people don't care about these things.

Han Xing shook his head, "If the nature is like the gangs in the city, please allow me to refuse."

A flash of displeasure flashed in Cao Rong's eyes, but he still kept a smile, "Brother Han, please feel free. Our gang will not force anyone to join."

"Qin is also inconvenient to participate!" Qin Ze stood up and said.

There was another genius who also comprehended dark energy, named Yue Gui, who also stood up and expressed his unwillingness to join.

Following closely, Kong Yu also stood up and cupped his hands, expressing that he already had an alliance with others and it was inconvenient to join.

As for Lu Ren, he was cultivated by the Gu family, so naturally he advanced and retreated with Gu Haoming.

And Gu Haoming was clearly already in the same group as Cao Rong.

Cao Rong expressed that it didn't matter with a fake smile, and then said loudly, "I and Brother Yun want to establish the Ruifeng Hall, meaning sharp and enterprising, rising with the wind. If anyone is willing to join, you can come over and register now.

From now on, whether in Qingyuan or the Ziyang Sect, you and I, Cao Rong, are brothers who share life and death."

"Young Master Cao thinks so highly of us, what are we still hesitating about?"

"Being brothers with Young Master Cao and Young Master Yun is our honor."

"Brother Cao is righteous. With his status, we are the ones taking advantage."

With a swoosh, many people stood up immediately and walked toward Cao Rong.

Li Shun and the others who were sitting at a table with Xu Yang and the others stood up without hesitation.

Zhang Yong hesitated for a moment, but also stood up. He had already joined Gu Haoming's camp, so naturally, he had to help Cao Rong's Ruifeng Hall build momentum.

There were also Zhao Zhifei and Jiang Ping, who also stood up.

At the table, only Xu Yang and Sun Tao did not move, which was very conspicuous.

Xu Yang scanned, and among the 60 Dragon-Ascending geniuses, more than 100 people stood up, intending to join the Ruifeng Hall.

"Junior Brother Sun Tao, what are you hesitating about? With Cao Rong and Yun Feng as leaders, and figures like Gu Haoming and Junior Brother Lu Ren, isn't the Ruifeng Hall worth joining?" Jiang Ping frowned.

"Senior Brother Jiang, please allow me to consider it," Sun Tao said.

Immediately after, he got up and left to discuss with the allies his family had found for him.

"Xu Yang, how about coming over for a chat?" In the distance, Qin Ze suddenly spoke.

"Okay!"

Xu Yang hesitated for a moment, then walked toward Qin Ze.

Qin Ze was the third place in this session. Although it was because he picked up a bargain, his strength was unquestionable, and even Gu Haoming might not be his opponent.

Beside Qin Ze, there were already several people.

One was Yue Gui, who also comprehended dark energy, another was the fifth young lady of the Liu family, Liu Qian, and the last one, Xu Yang remembered, was a disciple of the Heming Fist Hall, named Chen Jiang. His strength was very strong, second only to Qin Ze and Gu Haoming, and he had fought into the top ten in the martial arts examination.

And the Heming Fist Hall was also one of the top three martial arts halls in Qingyuan.

"Seen Brother Qin, Fifth Young Lady..." ===== CHAPTER 174 =====

In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar once again.

Han Xing, who was at the half-step Marrow Cleansing stage, combined with Kong Yu, who was hailed as having the best innate talent this year, had great appeal; some who had originally intended to join the Sharp Wind Hall immediately backed down and turned toward Han Xing.

Of course, besides the appeal of the two, another point was that the Fledgling Eagle Society had clearly defined its purpose, along with the promise that there would be no forced recruitment; not everyone wanted to become someone else's subordinate and be ordered around.

Who among those capable of ascending the dragon at the martial arts examination was not a proud and arrogant person?

Xu Yang noticed that some people who had previously been unmoved also stood up and walked toward Han Xing and Kong Yu.

However, there were still those who were unwilling to join either the Sharp Wind Hall or the Fledgling Eagle Society, and he was not the only one acting independently.

"These people must have discussed this in private."

The Fledgling Eagle Society—Xu Yang felt a bit moved.

Of course, it was only a little; he had a grudge against the Fierce Wind Hall, having killed Zhu Yang on the examination arena, so he naturally could not join the gang founded by Kong Yu.

Moreover, since they had already established leaders, he did not believe that Han Xing and Kong Yu lacked ambition.

"Xu Yang, how about coming over for a chat?" In the distance, Qin Ze suddenly spoke up.

"Alright!"

After a moment of hesitation, Xu Yang walked toward Qin Ze.

Qin Ze was third in this year's cohort; although it was because he had picked up an easy win, his strength was beyond doubt, and even Gu Hao might not be his match.

Beside Qin Ze, there were already a few people.

One was Yue Gui, who had also grasped dark energy, another was the fifth young lady of the Liu family, Liu Qian, and the last person, whom Xu Yang remembered as a disciple of the Heming Fist Hall named Chen Jiang, was very strong—a master second only to Qin Ze and Gu Hao who had made it into the top ten of the martial arts examination.

Furthermore, the Heming Fist Hall was also one of the top three martial arts schools in Qingyuan.

"I have met Brother Qin, Fifth Young Lady..."
